So here's my Blush Collection at I've promised. Yes I'm obsessed with blushers. I don't know how it started. I wasn't big on blushers for many years because my face is naturally red and blushers never did anything for me then. Now since I've started to slather on a mask of face paint when I leave the house, I can't seem to miss out my blush fix. Maybe my obsession with pink also has something to do with it? /shrugs/ I have 13 blushers now and soon I'm planning to get a 10 Blush palette. Teehee somebody stop me!!!!!! Let me walk you through my obsession.
Decided to turn out my whole make up collection and repack the darn drawer as it was getting too messy for a Virgo's comfort. I lost my eyeliner somewhere and that pissed me off to no end because it impedes my already snail pace make up process.
Ah that's better!
1) ELF All Over Color Stick
The words are scuffed off because it's been rolling around in my make up bag
In Lilac Petal
I bought it partly because it's name was so pretty
Ok I'm so shallow
Though I bring this around everywhere in my make up bag, I don't actually use it.
I keep it in there for emergencies. But for emergencies only. Since it comes in a tube there won't be any powdery spills or any messy accidents. Even that said, please don't leave your bag out in the sun. It's a bit too frosty for my liking, the colour doesn't come out unless you really pack it on, which I advice against. It's a cream base so that doesn't agree with my oily skin. Does have a cheap make up scent to it. You can use this on your lips too but once again, I won't recommend it.
Price: $3
Place of Purchase: Smoochiezz
2) Maybelline Blush Studio Mousse in 01 Pink Marshmallow
I found this in my mom's cupboard, took it but never used it much. Firstly, it's a cream blush, like I said, doesn't do well on oil skin. Secondly, the pink shade doesn't show up well on my skin and my mom's (that was after a long while later when I passed it back to her and she rejected it cos she didn't like the colour. Now she keeps snooping into my blush collection for blushers I don't use. Luckily for me she only uses pink blushers) it's too glittery which is never good for blushers because it makes you either look oily or prom-night-disaster. Lastly, it comes in a container which is the bane of girls with long nails. Hate it hate it when products get stuck under my nails ugh!
Price: ?
Place of Purchase: (technically my mom's cupboard) Watson's or any Drugstores
3) The Body Shop Nature Minerals Cheek Colour
In 04 Brown Topaz
So we're done with those cream blushers, now this is my only loose powdered blush which is actually a pain to apply because it gets everywhere and I need to do the whole: Tap into cap, swirl in the cap, tap off excess and apply routine. But it's pretty worth it as it makes my skin look tanned and glowy after you blend it out properly (which means you have to go in with a powdered foundation brush to blend it till natural looking). This was supposed to be a bronzer for me but I can't contour for nuts, my fat cheeks have no hope! I will look like an Amazon with camouflage stripes. Sighs. I initially wanted this in Pink Quartz which was a beautiful shade of pink but I was a fool to pass it up. T___T Overall, I'm quite happy with this blush and I use it occasionally when I'm going for an earthy neutral look.
Price: $9.90 (I bought it on a sale!)
Place of Purchase: The Body Shop
4) Daiso Rouge in Pink
This is a joke, please don't buy this. This is terrible, I don't even want to talk about it. I don't know why I even bought it or am still keeping it. It's a HOT PINK, hard to blend out... omg don't make me think about it. All that's coming to mind is WAYANG/CHINESE OPERA MONSTER. Okay enough, next!
Price: $2
Place of Purchase: Daiso
5) NYX Mosaic Powder
In MPB 06 Rosey
I was pretty obsessed with this when I first got this. It's very pigmented and very worth it's price. Love it how it's has a mosaic of pinks when can suit different looks, swirl at different parts and get that certain colour. Can get a bit powdery though and I'm pretty heavy handed when it comes to applying blush (bad habit) so it's comes out really strong on my cheeks so a lot of blending has to be done for me. Other than that, it's really awesome. Will consider getting this in Dare which Dee has, it's really pretty too.
Price: $10.50
Says 'Made in China'.
It's really not bad a blush! I saw manwomanfilm / sasakiasahi use it in some of her make up videos and I had to get it! This surprisingly runs out of stock fast at Daiso so I had to camp for a few weeks. I think it's an okay blush, not much comments on it. Great if you're on a budget and need colours on your cheeks.
Price: $2
Place of Purchase: Daiso
7) Daiso Multicheek in Pink
Now this says 'Made in Taiwan'
I didn't notice it until I took this picture and compared between the Beige one! I bought this at the same time! I bought this for my mom as well as she kept trying to swipe mine but she didn't like it as she said it wouldn't blend out properly. I think it works fine with a big powder blush brush though.
Price: $2
Place of Purchase: Daiso
8) ELF Natural Radiance Blusher
In Shy
I bought with classmate awhile back. It's a nice pink sheen that's not too out there yet gives that nice natural flush to cheeks. As you can see here, it's very powdery and has a lot of fall outs. One disappointing thing is that it's really small. Other than that I recommend all to try!
Price: $4
Place of Purchase: La Diamonte
9) Maybelline Angelfit Brighten Up Blush
In Wooden Rose
Dee got this for me for my birthday. It's a pretty and sheer pink with silver glitter in it. It does it need to be packed on quite a bit to be visible to the human eye. Gives a healthy pink glow
Price: ?
Place of Purchase: Drugstore
10) Cheek in 03
As you can see, I've hit pan... since a long time ago. This is one of my first blushers which I stole from my mom's makeup drawer. It's a nice coral shade which I used to be into because my skin was a lot more tan then as compared to now.
Price: ?
Place of Purchase: ?
11) COULEUR INC
In 02 Pink Quartz
This could safely be regarded as my second blush, which is along the lines of Cheek in 03, more coral. I didn't realise it's called Pink Quartz as in my own opinion it's more of an orangey pink rather than pink pink you know? This gives a great colour to your cheeks but needs proper blending or you'll end up with clown cheeks.
Price: $10?
Place of Purchase: John Little/Sasa
12) ELF Studio Blush
In Berry Merry
You don't need me to go on raving about ELF studio blush here as it's pretty well known in the beauty world. For the price, the colour pay off is wonderful, a bit too pigmented if you ask me. With a light hand and proper blending, this blush is very worth every cent. Berry Merry is a plum shade that is also suitable for fairer skin. Plum blushers are suitable for the Fall.
Price: $7
Place of Purchase: Smoochiezz
13) LUCIDarling Over the Rainblusher
#02 Cherry Couple
Just look how pretty this is. I haven't used this yet. I don't think I would ever.
Price: $38.90 (I got it for way cheaper in Malaysia)
Place of Purchase: Etude House
14) LUCIDarling Over the Rainblusher
#03 Apricot
Very shimmery, best used as a highlight rather than a blush. I like how they made the different gradients of colour into a rainbow. The colour pay off is quite sheer with alot of fall outs. Frankly I wouldn't purchase this without the Etude House sale in Malaysia.
